Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Empty jar into a bowl. Add butter, egg, vanilla, and molasses. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  2. Roll into 1-inch balls, roll each in coarse sugar, space 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined sheet.
  3. Bake 10-12 min, until edges are set but centers still look soft.
  4. Cool on the sheet 5 min before moving to a rack. Makes about 24 cookies.
Hostess Tip: Built from Nolet — our Dutch spice blend named for John's side of the family. For a festive stretch, press the dough into a buttered 10" cast iron skillet instead of rolling — bake 22-25 min and slice like a pie.
